LOL: What is a roaming mid laner?

The noise at the scene was completely amplified at this moment, the audience in the stands cheered and screamed selflessly, and the LED screen directly behind the stage players' seats also changed patterns.

The black and red YM team logo appeared in front of everyone's eyes, and the word 'VICTORY' at the suffix was extremely conspicuous.

Miller once again shouted congratulations to YM, "They swept the European hegemon FNC and advanced to the semi-finals, and are about to set foot on the land of Gwangju!"

"In the last wave of team battles, Brother Ran's prediction flash was so exciting," said the baby, his face flushed, still immersed in the brutal rule of the Tyrant Sword Demon, "He rushed into the back of the FNC formation and dropped Rekkles in seconds. !”

The director who likes to whip corpses gave a replay, allowing the audience to appreciate once again how the heavy sword raised high by the sword demon struck Xia.

Miller was full of praise, "He guessed in advance that Xia would flash and run backwards, so he used Q3 to flash to block the road... Ou Cheng was completely calculated!"

Rekkles took off his headphones and rested his chin on his hand with a dejected expression. When Aatrox's last darkin blade struck him, Ou Cheng knew that Lin Ran had seen through his intentions.

He lost completely, but he was convinced.

However, after working hard for a whole year, the final result was to be eliminated in the quarterfinals, which was far from Rekkles' expectations before the game.

Caps looked at the YM players on the other side of the stage who were still celebrating their victory. The corners of his mouth tightened and he looked a little confused.

This is his second global finals.

But still failed to achieve any decent results.

Although when YM was drawn before the game, Xiaomao knew that FNC would most likely fall here, but when it got to this point, it was still unacceptable.

The European commentator saw the frustrated FNC players looking at each other through the pilot lens, feeling helpless but could only accept it.

"FNC, which we had high hopes for, fell to the defending champion YM when they were eight to four..." Vedius shook his head and sighed, "I can only say that the opponent is too strong, and we can't find any breakthrough at all."

Top YM Maomao Mao also echoed, "FNC's failure has a lot to do with the group stage. If they can get one more victory and compete with IG in the playoffs to get the top spot in Group D, the team will not have to compete in the eighth group. If we face YM in a strong match, we may even advance to the semi-finals.”

Two other commentators also agreed with this view.

Except for Group D, where FNC is located, the other three groups ranked second are G2, VIT and TL.

Needless to say, the two teams that are both LCS.EU are no match for FNC.

Everyone is a team that mainly focuses on the mid and jungle in the early stage. FNC's strength in the top half is obviously better, and the stability of the bottom lane is also quite good. Without the phenomenon of acclimatization to the version, it is difficult to lose to G2 and VIT. .

As for the remaining TL, although it is good this year and its senior brother has successfully surpassed itself, it is purely wishful thinking to defeat FNC.

If FNC can win the first place in the group, YM may have to meet IG in the quarterfinals. Ou Cheng and Xiaomai have a high probability of reaching the semifinals, successfully bringing their 2018 season to a successful conclusion.

"There's no way, it's just like that sometimes, one step is wrong and the other is wrong," Deficio faced calmly, "We can only place our hope on G2 and VIT now."

Having said this, Vedius' eyes immediately shone, "Especially later today, Little Bee will have a head-to-head contest with LPL third seed RNG. We are very hopeful to win!"

In their view, G2, ranked third in Europe, can win from RNG in the group stage. Then Bee VIT, whose strength is second only to FNC in the LCS.EU division, will naturally have a good chance of winning tickets to the semi-finals.

The three European commentators became optimistic again when they thought of this.

When Lin Ran came off the stage, he was notified that the Hanwenliu interview on the main stage was Liu Qingsong, and the LPL interview backstage was himself.

Taking the microphone from the host, Lin Ran stood in front of the camera.

"First of all, congratulations to Brother Ran for successfully advancing to the semi-finals today," Yu Zhen was in a good mood, and the corners of his mouth unconsciously raised, "Is there anything you want to say to everyone?"

Lin Ran answered honestly and without expression, "I am very, very happy. After all, FNC is a very strong team. Their teamwork is very harmonious, and they are well adapted to the version. Coupled with their good personal strength..."

He paused, "Fortunately, we won in the end. I can only say that YM did a better job."

Hearing this, Yu Zhen couldn't help but curse.

After talking so much, it seemed like five games were played, and in the end, they were swept away 3-0?

At this time, the RNG players passed by and headed to the competition venue with their peripherals in their arms.

Lin Ran noticed that RNG’s starter today was Spicy Hotpot, not Casa.

It seems that RNG has chosen to focus on the top half and strive to adapt to the version.

The host Yu Zhen also understood very well and immediately asked: "What do you think of Brother Ran for the next game?"

"I definitely hope that RNG can win smoothly," Lin Ran laughed. "It would be best if there are more LPL teams in the semi-finals. It would also be good to host this as our autumn competition."

He also gave a thumbs up gesture to Guan Hu and Shi Senming.

However, the RNG players looked nervous and were not in the mood to deal with Lin Ran, who had just entered the semi-finals. They just nodded hurriedly and stepped onto the steps.

"Is this the LPL Autumn Championship?" Yu Zhen smiled from ear to ear, "Then let me borrow Ran Ge's good words and let us cheer for RNG, which is about to start the game!"

After bidding farewell to the aftershocks, Lin Ran went with other teammates to receive a post-game group interview. After he had dealt with a large number of questions raised by various e-sports media, the second knockout round had already begun.

"Is this BP really fake?" Lin Weixiang had been watching the live broadcast on his mobile phone. When he noticed something was wrong, he immediately shouted, "RNG Li Zai Gan Shen Mo?"

Lin Ran leaned over and took a look curiously.

At this time, the lineups of both sides have been determined.

RNG got a lineup of top laner Sword Demon, jungler Olaf, mid laner Ryze, and bottom lane Hanbing + Niutou.

Basically they are version answers.

"Letme know how to use the Sword Demon?" Da Mei was very surprised, "Are you kidding me?"

Since they were assigned to the same half zone as RNG, YM did not play training matches with them during this period. Their co-training opponents were mainly IG and KT in the opposite half zone.

Lin Ran didn't know when Yan Junze trained Sword Demon. Although letme was used many times in qualifying matches, it had never been used in professional competitions.

He once thought that Letme's Sword Demon was just like his Yasuo, and his proficiency was not very high.

I didn't expect it to be the same.

It's all a cover.

Lin Ran was also deceived.

But showing the Sword Demon in the quarter-finals...isn't it a bit too early?

Lin Ran packed up his backpack and walked out while paying attention to the game.

In the first set, RNG played extremely fiercely, establishing a 2.8K advantage in 10 minutes. Olaf of Spicy Hotpot showed his true nature as a reckless man, and his playing style was extremely tough.

"Uzi probably isn't used to this version," Jack walked closer to Lin Ran, and the two shared the screen. "He can't play most of the functional characters."

Like Ruler, Uzi is also a classic ADC patron saint, vowing to rebuild the glory of shooters.

He only plays ADC now, and does not use characters such as bomber and ball girl.

Although Uzi once played mid laner in S4 for a period of time and played many games with Syndra, it stands to reason that if he picks it up again, he is not as skilled as a mid laner, but compared with other teams' ADCs, he should be able to win Gotta take action.

But according to the qualifying information intercepted by Gouba, Uzi has really not practiced much during this period, and he probably plans to keep using his ADC.

There are only a few shooters you can choose from in this version.

Ice, Jhin, Lucian, Kai'Sa and Xayah.

The first two are typical functional ADCs, Uzi Ice is not bad, and Jhin is really average - mainly because the hero mechanism is here, and the gameplay is different from that of a normal shooter.

Uzi obviously prefers the kind of attack-speed heroes who can take away A, but Jhin doesn't match his style.

Lucian needs to be paired with Thresh and Braum. It does have strength, but because of its short hands, it is easy to be targeted by the midfielder in the later stage. RNG used Lucian when they lost in the group stage before, and I guess Uzi doesn't want to take it that much.

The remaining Kai'Sa and Xayah are indeed selectable in this version, but their development pace is too slow, and their help to the team before they are formed is not as good as the tool ADC.

And because the Rift Herald is becoming more and more important, it means that the jungler cannot take too much care of the bottom lane in the early stage. Uzi has to rely on his own and Shi Senming's laning ability to gain an advantage.

It's hard to be honest.

The bot lane combination that can enter the top eight of the World Championship must have two brushes and colored pens, but they basically have self-awareness and know that their level is not good.

They are very aware of the laning ability of the Gou Shi combination, so they will not think about fighting head-on. During the laning period, they adhere to the idea of ​​"success will be considered as long as they survive", and just huddle under the tower to develop.

After all, they are professional players. If the opponent really wants to survive, there is nothing Uzi and Xiao Ming can do against these people, so they can suppress some last-minute hits. If the jungler does not come to help, it will be difficult to kill them in the lane.

Lin Ran got on the bus, set the wind speed of the air conditioner above his head, and turned his attention to his mobile phone again.

"If the VIT coaching staff is smart, they will limit Uzi's hero pool," Gou Ba sat over, "As long as the ice is sealed, the effect will be immediate."

"Not only can he suppress Uzi, but he can also make a pot of incense."

MLXG's reckless style of play is afraid of not being able to find the opponent's jungler. If he blindly invades but misses the target, the loss will be considerable. Ashe can provide vision for the jungle and help him discover the opponent's opponent. The trend makes spicy hot pot a fish in water.

The first game was over before YM's bus even drove back to the hotel.

Yan Junze's Sword Demon debut in the professional arena was pretty good, with 5/3/7 data and over 600 points of average damage, which can be described as quite satisfactory.

RNG's third line and jungler performed perfectly. In just 25 minutes, they flattened VIT's main castle crystal!

The audience really felt comfortable.

The event live broadcast room is now flooded with barrages.

[Today’s LPL four consecutive wins! 】

[10% off the European Division? The first and second seeds have all been destroyed, now we have to wait for IG to slaughter G2 tomorrow]

[Sure enough, Europe and the United States are still competing, even if all three teams enter the quarterfinals, it will be useless]

[Don’t be so optimistic, this BO5 game has only been completed...]

[When YM played against FNC before, they also said not to be so optimistic. In the end, it was still not a three-to-zero sweep? 】

Facts have proved that we cannot be too optimistic.

In the second game, VIT decisively changed its BP strategy, killing Han Bing in the first game, and then snatched Huan Ling and destroyed Xia Luo's combination.

As a result, there are not many choices left for Uzi.

He ended up taking Kai'Sa.

In this game, the pressure on the bottom lane of the Little Bees dropped sharply, and until the end of the laning period, they were only suppressed by Uzi 10 times.

This is definitely a qualified performance.

The support and jungler began to join forces and invaded the Xiangguo jungle area unscrupulously. The mid laner Jiizuke was able to roam around like a enchantress.

RNG's first vanguard was halfway through the fight, and found VIT coming together to fight.

The top laner Jace shot down, lowering the health of the two RNG top and auxiliary brothers. The fragrant pot himself attracted the hatred of the vanguard and also lost a lot of health.

"RNG is in such bad shape that we have to give up this vanguard." Lin Ran, who returned to the hotel, was still watching the live broadcast while there was no training match.

Several other teammates and the coaching staff are also paying close attention to this quarterfinal match.

After all, this determines YM's next opponent.

Guo Hao pushed the door in with two big bags of take-out boxes, and kept chanting, "Here comes the fried noodles. Here comes the fried noodles!"

Hongmi yelled excitedly and took the lunch box from the manager's hand.

Jack took it apart and took a look, "Why is this side so dark? It looks pretty ordinary."

"It's delicious," Hongmi opened her eyes wide and tried to argue, "Try it!"

"I've had it twice before and it tastes okay." Lin Ran mixed the sauce and noodles and stirred them evenly. "It's just a little sweet."

Guo Hao projected the live broadcast of the game on the curtain, and a group of people slurped and ate noodles, commenting on the two teams that were still fighting hard at the Busan Convention and Exhibition Center.

After losing the Rift Pioneer, RNG was already at a disadvantage. Jiizuke took the Eye of the Pioneer and ran to the side lane to lead the lane, which made the cancellation very uncomfortable.

Uzi, the backbone of the team, is still developing, and it seems difficult to provide any help in a short time.

However, Little Bee itself was also giving opportunities. Xiangguo had a very keen sense of smell and knew that the opponent's main attack point was in the middle, so he counter-crouched nearby and used the predator's movement speed bonus to close a lot of the economic gap for the team.

Gou Ba pointed his finger at the grass next to RNG's Beak Camp. "VIT's play style is a bit rough. There is a problem with the ward placement. When advancing to the middle, you must make wards here..."

"If we play RNG in the semifinals, Xiaotian and Liu Qingsong, you two, remember to ensure that you have a good view here. I like to squat nearby when Xiangguo is at a disadvantage."

Lin Ran swallowed the noodles in his mouth, "Let's make an eye on the grass that the red buff is facing. Let's make the field of view a little deeper, so that we can lock his position."

"Okay," Gou Ba became interested and put down his chopsticks. "These two eyes are at a certain distance from the line. We have to ensure that we have line rights, otherwise the eye positions cannot be done..."

He began to think about the lineup structure for the next semi-finals. The players and Hongmi would add a few words after listening. They brainstormed and supplemented the strategy into a prototype.

"Stop, stop, stop!" Guo Hao immediately dissuaded him, "We are eating and watching the game. We will talk about tactics and the like when we get back!"

Only then did the group of people stop.

The final winner of the second set was Bee VIT.

Although Xiangguo and Uzi led RNG to counterattack in the mid-term, the pit they dug in the early stage was really a bit big. In the end, during the Baron's desperate team battle, VIT's jungle punishment steadily took over Baron Nash, and finally retained four Dragon Seed, split-pushing the side lanes will completely expand the economic advantage.

"The gate of life is the ice," Guo Hao finally understood. "As long as Ashe is put in the ban position, it will be very difficult for RNG to deal with it."

The VIT coaching team is also aware of this.

In the third set, they first banned Han Bing and Luo, and continued to block Uzi's hero pool, leaving him with no choice but to use Lucian to try to open up the situation in the early stage.

Not surprisingly, the plan failed.

Little Bee's bottom lane is Gou, and he doesn't fight at all. He lets him force him to be strong, and he is the king of last hits.

After 8 minutes of mixed lanes, I went to Canyon Pioneer to play a group fight. As a result, RNG failed to win and had to give up Purple Garlic.

VIT placed the vanguard in the bottom lane and flattened RNG's next tower with four packs of two.

The ten or twenty CS that Uzi pressed in the early stage were completely useless. The opponent Jhin achieved an economic lead after finishing a blood tower.

This time Xiang Guo wanted to replicate the play style of the previous game, hiding near the Sharp Beak Camp and performing counter-crouching, but VIT changed their strategy.

They no longer exert force from the middle. After pushing down the tower, they push up the road, and then move to the middle after pushing the two side roads.

At this time, due to the push of the upper and lower towers, RNG's field of vision has been reduced, and the ward position cannot be set out. It can only be harassed by the little bee.

The disadvantages are growing.

RNG has been exposed to more and more problems.

The most critical point is that the first half is not strong enough.

The trio of Yan Junze + Xiang Guo + Cancellation is still relatively strong in S7, but this year the strength of these three people has declined to a certain extent. In addition, the two single-line good brothers have adapted to the guarantee game for more than half a year. Fa, now they are suddenly asked to change their thinking, which is really a bit uncomfortable.

VIT's top, middle and jungle can suppress RNG.

Now the disadvantage is getting bigger and bigger. At 20 minutes into the game, the economic gap has reached 7K.

"No way..." Xiaoyao stared at the curtain, "RNG won't fall here, right?"

"Let's play NM," Jack said, "Will RNG be in the top eight or sixteen?"

Twenty-five minutes into the game, the account holder was stunned once, exchanged the unsealed secret book for a punishment, rushed down the dragon pit with Xiang Guo, and grabbed a crucial big dragon.

However, after the two of them snatched the dragon, they were chased to death by VIT. Together with Xiao Ming, who was killed in the battle before, RNG only retained two dragon species in the end.

This cannot restore their disadvantage, they can only barely hold on.

In the second half, the commentator Zeyuan was still looking for help for RNG.

"I think this big dragon just wants RNG to hold off for three minutes and wait for the C-position equipment to be formed. If we can grab another Baron Nash, there is hope for a comeback!"

But VIT made a comeback and forced RNG into the high ground at 29 minutes.

The equipment gap between the two sides still exists. RNG doesn't want to fight, but the reality is beyond their control.

Jiizuke's signature Ekko flanks the field to force a team fight, and then uses R to return to his own formation.

The slowing effect of the W time field enveloped the two RNG players.

that's enough.

Jiizuke just wants to start a team fight.

"RNG can't withstand the firepower. Uzi is doing crazy damage from behind, but Xin Zhao's ultimate moves are all blocked!"

Juhua Xin's ultimate move is really a bit restrained by the short-handed Lu Xian, and the damage of Baptism of the Holy Spear is almost zero.

Jiizuke's Ekko finally scored a wave of three kills, successfully destroying RNG.

2:1!

RNG came to the edge of the cliff.

The audience in the event live broadcast room no longer had the pride and pride they had two hours ago.

RNG, which originally thought it could win easily, was chased for two consecutive games after winning its first victory, and was one step away from being eliminated.

【Come on RNG! 】

[It’s so crotch-pulling, it can’t even beat the little-known VIT]

[Can Xiaohu step forward? In the entire BO5 fight so far, except for grabbing a big dragon, the rest of the time has been paddling]

[When the team is at a disadvantage, it relies on Uzi's three-piece suit. There is not even a player in the RNM team who can take the lead]

[All members of YM can be dads, and their tactical styles are changeable. Anyone can be C. Ran Ge is stable and sure of the sea's magic needle; IG has two mid-level and top-level operation monsters, and King Ning's mentality is full of confidence; who does RNG rely on? 】

Amidst the noise of the barrage, the fourth game kicked off.

Uzi started cosplaying Guan Gong again, his fat face turned red and it looked like the cooling system was no longer working well.

Fortunately, he could still maintain normal communication and kept chattering.

Lin Ran finished his dinner and finished a training match. He lay down on his chair and assumed a comfortable and comfortable posture.

RNG finally started their counterattack in the fourth set.

Xiangguo chose Nightmare, used his ultimate move to counter VIT's early attack, and successfully helped his teammates win the vanguard.

Around 10 minutes, turn on R [Ghost Shadow] to fly to the bottom lane, help Uzi kill the opponent's duo, and then cast Rift Herald to bulldoze a tower.

The economic snowball started rolling quickly.

After getting the first blood tower, Uzi's development has been much smoother. After his equipment and level were improved, he started to play square. After finishing the troops, he went to eat wild monsters, constantly opening up the economic gap with his opponent players.

When Uzi made a two-piece suit, the opponent's Jhin just had a Lanqi and a pair of two-speed shoes.

With such an exaggerated economic advantage, RNG naturally grasped it, and flattened its opponents like the autumn wind sweeping away fallen leaves?

"Wow... I didn't expect this set to reach the fifth game," Liu Qingsong said bluntly, "I feel like we can already study our opponents in the final."

"It won't happen, it won't happen," Hongmi tried to dissuade her. "It's better to proceed slowly and steadily. Don't act too hastily."

During the most critical period of the team's three consecutive championships, he did not want any changes to occur and planned to do everything for the best.

While a few people were talking, the game had already begun.

Uzi chose Kai'Sa in this game. After Vayne was forced to be banned because she did not conform to the trend of the version, this is the role he is currently most confident in in the professional arena.

He certainly did not disappoint.

In the process of VIT's group push, Uzi's Kai'Sa once again performed a difficult operation to escape to the extreme.

Especially in the case of residual health, using R [Hunter Instinct] to avoid VIT Luo's grand appearance and Olaf's countercurrent throw won him a lot of applause.

With zero death, Uzi, with the cooperation of the incense pot with full rhythm, successfully delayed his power period.

After the two-piece set, Summoner's Rift is dominated by the Icathian Rainstorm!

"It's about to end!" Zeyuan let out a long breath, "RNG has an economic lead of 10,000, and won't give the opponent any chance to make a comeback!"

One big dragon breaks two lanes, and another big dragon ends the game!

"Congratulations to RNG!" I remember saying loudly, "They defeated VIT 3:2 and advanced to the semi-finals. Their next opponent will be YM!"

On the second day of the knockout round, IG faced G2, and TheShy went crazy.

The semi-finals will be held in Dazhang tomorrow
